Chapter 30 (1/2)

“You want to do business on this plane?”

Ocean Blue floated around as she looked at Jiang Qiao open editing mode, and Jiang Qiao didn’t build any fancy shops, but a simple roadside stall instead.

“Why not? Players would always need a place to fix their equipment or get rid of loot that they don’t need.”

Jiang Qiao swiped a finger in midair and made a transportation gate behind the stall, and from it came a tomboyish female gunslinger. This female gunslinger was a Level 50 NPC called Enhancer Ellie.

Her battle class was the class advancement of gunslingers that had the highest speed, the Roaming Rangers class that had extravagant shooting skills.

This NPC wasn’t one that Jiang Qiao created on the spot, but an NPC that Jiang Qiao created in Maker Mode twelve days ago that hadn’t made her official appearance in the game yet.

To create a Level 50 NPC and equip her with multiple strong epic equipment cost Jiang Qiao a large amount of energy.

“Your equipment is pretty mediocre, boy~” Miss Enhancer said as soon as she laid eyes on Jiang Qiao after coming out of the gate.

“Of course, these are just Level 25 equipment that haven’t been enhanced yet…”

Jiang Qiao said half-jokingly, but she didn’t reply Jiang Qiao. Most NPCs in Sacred Souls didn’t have the intelligence to comprehend and process the words of the players yet.

Most NPCs were like robots with simple artificial intelligence, and they would only reply in preset ways to a few sets of questions. The amount of such question-and-answer sets that Jiang Qiao set for them was exceedingly high, so it gave players the illusion that they could hold conversations with NPCs.

Jiang Qiao pulled out four more machines that looked like stoves and placed them next to Miss Enhancer.

These machines were where her true use lay, which were the Equipment Enhancing Machines!

Each Equipment Enhancing Machine operated individually, and players wouldn’t have to throw their equipment into the machines themselves. They would only have to drag their equipment into the enhancing interface that was set to appear in front of them.

These physical Equipment Enhancing Machines….Were built for the natives of the Tower of Trials.

“How about we get the players to pay with coins and magic stones?”

Jiang Qiao took out the magic stone that the old mage gave him and inspected it thoroughly. It looked like a simple pale blue gemstone outside, but it was filled with great magical energy and some impurities.

With Ocean Blue’s strong digestive tract, these impurities would also be able to be turned into energy too.

In theory, these magic stones could be seen as rations for Ocean Blue that would be able to provide one to ten points of energy for her, not disregarding the possibility of higher grade magical stones.

Thinking of this, he cast an inspection spell on the magical stone, showing its properties in detail.

[Magical Stone (Small)]

[Consumable]

[Details: An item that holds great power, needs to be purified before use.]

[Effects: Recovers user’s MP by 200 after crushing it.]

This effect in itself was quite useless to players, so they probably wouldn’t collect them deliberately.

Jiang Qiao needed to change this item a bit to make them less useless.
